Ellison Building, Singapore (30 July 2017)

Ellison Building (GPS: 1.30466, 103.85031) is a historic building in the Selegie neighbourhood of Rochor, Singapore. Located at the junction of Selegie Road and Bukit Timah Road, it was built in 1924 by Romanian Jew Issac Ellison for his wife Flora. The building was gazetted for conservation in 2008, which spares it from demolition. However, part of the building's façade will have to be demolished and rebuilt because of the construction of North-South Corridor (NSC), a new expressway that will pass through the area.

The Ellison Building was sold to a property developer, Dennis Aw, in 1989. It changed hands once more, to another firm in the mid 1990s before it came into the hands of the Government.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
